Wow, very impressive. Does remind me of LT a little. But many college RB's can shred defenses at that level. Question is, can he do it for 2 to 3 seasons at the college level and can he run like that against a Jamal Williams, Merriman and a Cromartie? If he can do that, NOW you have something special. He sure looks impressive though esp. as a freshman. We'll have to monitor his career.

The "experts" have already compared him to the next Barry Sanders. The problem with that is his about 3 inches taller and 20lbs heavier, and still hasn't lost a step. He's only 20yrs old, he's got plenty more room to grow as a player too. Definant Heisman hopefull for the next 2-3yrs.

This is just me always on the lookout for the next LT, and when AJ will make a move to aquire the heir to the throne.

Not if Pitt does anything, which you know they will. Then he will be on everyone's list because Pitt is a power running team. The kid will be utilized often in their scheme and get plenty of recognition by the time he gets out in 2 yrs...

So?
In the interest of replacing LT, if this guy is the real deal AJ should go after him.

Oh yes...A.J. should go after him but Pitt will do a ton of damage with this guy taking a lot of the credit and then his name will be on every scout's list and a whole bunch of teams will be gunning for him in the draft. I'm just saying it will be hard to acquire him.

Yeah I know, its going to cost us an arm and a leg considering we'll probably be in the 27-32 range of the draft.

I think AJ could also consider trading a superstar that proves to be impossible to re-sign, as much as I hate to say it, Shawne Merriman seems like a "me first" money oriented player, and he could become expendable in a couple years if AJ chooses not to tag him.

Of all our (star) players, i would say that Cro is most likely to be a money oriented player. I mean he already fired his agent and signed a new one because......

To me, that says that this guy is going after the money and wants to become the highest paid defensive back in the NFL if not defensive player

And lets not forget, hes being trained by Deion Sanders, a guy who always followed the money

Absolutely! I always see Cro as the kind of player who would pull a Steven Jackson style holdout, but for more money. He will not end his career as a Charger. But we better get something for him. If the end is near, he's never to become a free agent.

AJ porbably knows who he's going to draft five years from now, unlike al davis, people have to tell him that the draft is tommorow so he can start looking at the choices, cough*darren mcfadden*cough :lol:

The thing is Merriman is a Maryland guy, he's a fan of the Washington Redskins and that deuchbag Dan Snyder.

Snyder will offer him the world to come back to DC, and AJ Smith wont offer the world to keep him. Where as AJ is already in negotiations with Cromartie's agent for a LOOOONG term deal before he becomes a 100mil CB.

By the time this guys is ready for the draft, AJ will certainly have to trade up for him, but there are other guys who will also emerge by then. It's way too early for talk about McCoy and our future drafts. We have two or maybe even three more drafts before he appears, unless he comes out early. If I know AJ, he probably has more than one guy in his sights already.

He'll come out early. It's clear that if the NCAA doesn't step in every DB, QB, RB, and LB will leave their junior year. He is no way flying under the radar! He's the next Darren McFadden, not Jacob Hester. Everyone is talking about how he'll be #1 in the league. We're gonna need a top-three pick to get him. That is, of course, if we still want him.
